Death knocked on the gate of hell

It has been two months since Hades and Death's wedding, Nix and his wife left Qingzhou to continue traveling around the world.Hypnos was reluctant to be separated from his brother, and still planned to live in China with Hades for a while.Except for two more residents in the apartment, life gradually returned to normal.

In room 202, Poseidon is telling a story to the baby in Venus' womb.

Venus insists that education should start from prenatal education, and children must be influenced by their ears and eyes from the womb, so that they can become cultural gods.Poseidon has long been used to telling stories to Venus, and he is very skilled in his old profession.

Today we are talking about the story of Chaos and his sons and daughters who created the world.

"Chaos is the original god of the Greek pantheon. He is the beginning of the world and chaos itself. Then Gaia, the god of the earth, Tartarus, the god of the abyss, Erepos, the god of darkness, and Ni, the goddess of the night, were born in the chaos. Max, Eros, the god of love, this is the first generation of five gods."

"Eros, the god of love?" Cupid, who was watching, raised his hand, "Isn't this me?"

Cupid's Greek name is Eros, but his Roman name Cupid is more famous.

"It's just the same name. His seniority is much higher than yours." Poseidon said, "The first God of Love brought love and sex to the world, so that the gods could combine and multiply. The gods made hell, and the god of darkness and the goddess of night made the nether world and the night, and they joined together to give birth to the day. Thus was created a world of form."

"This is different from what I heard." Cupid scratched his head, "Brother Bai Wuchang told me that a great god named Pangu was born out of the chaos. Live, fall down and become all things. Breath becomes wind, cloud and seasons, voice becomes lightning and thunder, eyes become sun and moon, limbs become directions, skin becomes earth, blood becomes rivers, sweat becomes rain and dew...then the world is transformed into create."

"That's Chinese mythology." Venus tapped his little head, "We're talking about Greek mythology. You are a Greek god, so our version should prevail."

"But there is only one world. Who created it?" Cupid was full of curiosity.

Venus couldn't answer, so she had to look at the knowledgeable Poseidon for help.After all, he is not some kind of cultural god, looking for Lao Gong at critical moments.

Poseidon said with ease: "There is more than one god system in the world, and each god system divides a different region. The world created is limited to its own territory, and other territories are freely developed by other gods. That's why there are so many gods in the world. Splendid civilizations that are diverse and colorful.”

Cupid nodded, convinced by the explanation.

He couldn't wait to ask: "Then besides Greece and China, what creation myths are there? I want to hear, I want to hear! I think creating the world is so cool!"

Poseidon thought for a while: "Then I will tell you about God's creation in Hebrew mythology..."

In the beginning, the world was in chaos and darkness, and God was born in the darkness.

God's name is Yahweh, and he is the only God here.He felt that the vast darkness was too lonely and decided to make a change.

On the first day, God said, let there be light.Then the world has light.God differentiated light from darkness, and there was day and night.

On the second day, God said that there should be air between the waters.So there is the sky and the air.

On the third day, God said, gather all the water under the heavens into one place, and let the dry land appear.So the water and the dry land were separated, and there was the earth and the sea.

On the fourth day, God said, let there be lights in the sky, which can divide the day and night, serve as signs, and determine festivals, days, and years, and they will shine to illuminate the whole earth.So there is the sun, the moon and the stars.

On the fifth day, God said, let the waters multiply the living things, and let the birds fly in the sky on the ground.So there are birds and fish.

On the sixth day, God said, let the earth produce living creatures: livestock, reptiles, and wild animals according to their kinds.So there are all creatures.God also said that man should be created in his own image and likeness, and sent to rule over the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the livestock on the ground, and all the insects that crawl on the ground.And so man was born.

On the seventh day, the creation of the world was completed, God rested, and set Sunday as the day of rest for human beings.

Cupid: "Wow, God is so hardworking."

In Greek mythology, humans were created by Prometheus, the god of wisdom.In Chinese mythology, human beings were created by Nuwa.Only God, who created the world, created things, and made people in one package, is so hardworking that Cupid is moved.

Cupid beamed and said: "This kind of boss is called a good boss! Brother Hei Wuchang and Brother Hypnos kept complaining to me, saying how much Hades and Hades oppressed their subordinates, and they either wanted to rebel or thought about how to rebel every day. This kind of boss is too black-hearted. Yes! How good it is to be like God, who does everything by himself and sets a rest day, so being his subordinate must be happy and faithful! Isn’t this day heaven!”

Cupid added: "Oh yes, they do live in heaven. That sounds even better!"

Because Cupid has a small halo on his head and a pair of small wings on his back, he is always praised as cute as an angel.But he is not an angel, but a god of love, with racial differences.

Being called a lot, Cupid gradually learned about angels.They also have halos and wings and live in heaven.And heaven is the place that mortals dream of. It is said that there is carefree, happy,

People don't want to go to the underworld, go to the underworld, or be buried in the sea, but people seem to have a different yearning for heaven.So Cupid has a good impression of God, otherwise why would so many people want to go to heaven?

Poseidon was silent for a moment.He also left work to his subordinates and came to the East for vacation, and he was also in Cupid's shooting range.

However, he quickly smiled and said: "On the contrary, the Archangel Lucifer, who is most favored by God, betrayed him, led one-third of the angels in heaven to fall to heaven, and became Satan, the demon king of hell. He even abandoned God. Give him the title of 'Phil', calling himself Lucifer."

Cupid: "???"

Cupid: "Why!"

"Such a good boss, that Lucifer is too ignorant!" Cupid was indignant.

Seeing that his son was eager to learn, Poseidon continued the story.

God created far more than just human beings, there are also angels, elves, giant dragons, etc. Human beings are just the tiniest of them.

Lucifer is the first angel created by God, even God's first creation.Before the creation of the world, when God felt boundless and lonely in the dark, he first created a life in his own image to accompany Him.

Later, when the world was created, God was able to skillfully use his divine power to create, and he could overwhelm mountains and seas with a little carelessness. He created other angels and all races including humans in this way.But at first, in the darkness without light, He carefully traced the young man's eyebrows and eyes, and regarded him as a partner who broke his loneliness.

Human beings often describe beauty as "the appearance seems to be carved by God himself", but only Lucifer truly deserves this description.He can even drop the word "as if", he is the only perfect work that God poured his heart and soul into.

Every component of the face, every inch of skin on the body, every feather on the wings is flawless and unparalleled.

He has smooth and supple brilliant blond hair, and gentle and clear golden eyes, like the bright sky in the dark.God watched his face, and wanted to draw a colorful world to match such a dazzling angel, so He said, "Let there be light."

God used six-sevenths of his divine power to create him, and the remaining one-seventh of his divine power to create the world.

The angel was named "Lucifer" by God, which means "morning star at dawn".

After the creation of the world, God and the angels lived in the kingdom of heaven.Lucifer is the angel with the highest status. He is gentle and kind, beautiful and brave, fair and powerful, and full of brilliance. He is a role model for all angels.

God does not care about world affairs. Lucifer, as the most powerful seraphim who is most valued by God and loved by angels, is given the highest authority by God to control all angels and handle the affairs of the kingdom of heaven. The other six seraphs are Just assisting from the side, still obeying Lucifer's orders, and they are all convinced.God is the king of the kingdom of heaven, so he is equivalent to the vice king of the kingdom of heaven.

As soon as Cupid heard the word "don't care about world affairs", Cupid understood again: "Ah, I know! So God is also a shopkeeper who throws his hands away, leaving everything to Lucifer, and Lucifer is driven crazy by work. Fallen to heaven. So Lucifer is very powerful in action! Brother Hei Wuchang and Brother Hypnos just want to rebel in their minds, but he has actually put it into action!"

Poseidon shook his head: "It's not that simple."

God loved Lucifer, and Lucifer respected God very much. No matter how busy and tiring he was at work, he worked diligently to manage the kingdom of heaven for God without any complaints.

However, one day, God brought a mortal named Adam to the angels, saying that he was the new Son of God, and asked the angels to kneel down and pay homage.

At that time, it was generally believed that mortals were not as noble as angels, and that it was a humiliation for angels to bow down to mortals.However, it was God who gave the order, and no angel dared to disobey the order of God. They knelt down reluctantly and worshiped the Son.

Even the six Seraphs knelt down to worship, but Lucifer still stood tall and refused to bend his knees.

God stared at him coldly: "Lucifer, why don't you kneel?"

Lucifer lowered his eyes, not looking directly into God's eyes: "I don't understand why you want us to worship a mortal."

God replied: "He is my appointed son, and he will rule the kingdom of heaven instead of you in the future. You should obey Adam in the future, and you should pay homage."

Astonishment appeared in Lucifer's golden eyes, and the expression that was always perfect and impeccable showed a gaffe for the first time.

He said in a sonorous tone: "God Lord, I have done my best for the kingdom of heaven, and I have made no mistakes for tens of thousands of years. How can he replace me?"

He felt a little wronged.He was born perfect, and God always praised his perfection.But in fact, no one can be perfect all the time, and other Seraphs have more or less made mistakes.Only Lucifer, in order to live up to God's trust, forced himself to make no mistakes for tens of thousands of years, never made a wrong step, and truly achieved perfection.

What kind of mortal could replace him

God said indifferently: "Lucifer, are you going to disobey me?"

Lucifer bowed his head and made a humble and respectful gesture, but he was still unyielding, saying every word: "Lucifer has never dared to disobey God, but today, I am not."

God calmly said: "Lucifer, you have committed the crime of arrogance."

Arrogance is one of the seven deadly sins, and when God pronounced arrogant words on Lucifer, he was condemning him.

The blond angel raised his eyes in disbelief, a look of injury flashed across his pupils, but his innate pride prevented him from showing a fragile expression.

Of course he is proud.His pride was endowed by God himself. He is a partner recognized by God himself, a high-ranking deputy of the kingdom of heaven, and an Archangel loved by angels. He has the capital of pride.When God loved him, he once said that the most dazzling thing about Lucifer was his never-ending pride.

But when God rejected him, pride became arrogance and became his sin.

It turns out that he is no different from other creations, just dispensable and something that can be replaced at any time.

Lucifer was still in a daze, and there was a sharp pain in his knee.God didn't have the patience to spend any more time with him, so he hit Lucifer directly on the knee with divine power, forcing him to kneel down.

Lucifer's soul trembled from the pain, and even the six wings of the holy light hung down feebly, but he stubbornly straightened his slightly trembling back, unwilling to let his knees bend a little.

He endured the pain of confronting the divine power and trembled: "Why do you force me to worship him? I will never worship such a small thing that appeared later than me. Before he was formed, I already existed, so he should Pay homage to me."

The blond angel looked sadly at the God Lord on the throne, it was the first time he looked directly at God.He was questioning, wanting an answer.

God looked on coldly, aggravating the oppression of divine power, and didn't even bother to explain.

With despair in his eyes, Lucifer smiled sadly: "I know your answer."

"God Lord, this is the last time I call you God Lord."

"Lucifer was born with pride and will never change. Since you have condemned me for arrogance and asked me to confess and repent and submit to others, I will only have... an aggravated crime."

The gentle smile of the beautiful angel was radiant and sorrowful, and he called God's name in a rebellious manner: "Lord, I will abandon the title you gave me and change my name to Lucifer. I would rather be king in hell than a minister in heaven."

He turned around, his cold eyes swept over the kneeling angels: "If anyone follows me, they will go to hell together."

Lucifer had already had a large number of diehard loyalists in heaven for countless years. As soon as he said this, one-third of the angels stood up and stood in his camp.

The battle is imminent.

The war lasted for three days, and the creation finally lost to the gods.The rebel army was defeated, the angel fell to heaven, Lucifer was seriously injured by God himself, and fell to heaven.

He fell in chaos for nine twilights.

The six pure white wings were stained with blood and could no longer fly, and the injured feathers fell into the air.

The golden halo above his head dimmed, extinguished, and shattered.

He looks up to heaven as he falls, and reaches out as if to grab something, only to hold onto the void.

The brilliant blond hair gradually lost its luster, and clear tears flowed in the golden pupils.

Then close your eyes and fall into hell.

Till the dove-like feathers are dyed the black crow feathers.

Demon horns replace angel halos.

Lucifer opened his red eyes in hell, and sneered sneeringly.

……

"Wow!!!" Cupid was so angry that the halo on his head was about to explode, "What kind of a bastard is God! Why do you treat Lucifer like this!"

Venus: "Didn't you just say that Lucifer doesn't know what's good?"

Although Cupid is still a child, he has been able to deeply empathize with social animals like black and white impermanence, and understands the sadness of adults: "Think about it, you graduated from a prestigious university with a doctorate and worked hard for the boss in the company. After decades, suddenly an intern who didn’t graduate from primary school was parachuted into you as your boss, who wouldn’t want to change jobs? Why not start your own company, hmph.”
